Bidroom’s representation in Berlin

This year, to mark it as a grand year for Bidroom, almost all of the employees, including the Board, attended the show. We hopped on our branded Bidroom Bus and drove from Kraków to Berlin with excitement and anticipation of what is it going to look like this year.Because of the size of the show and the amount of exhibitions and countries represented, we stroke with a full force to be able to check out as much as we can. Sales department was thriving, adding more and more hotels to Bidroom platform and making numerous deals. Marketing department making sure that not a thing goes unnoticed and widening their knowledge on inspiring panels. Finally, IT department not only learning and making contacts, but also constantly on duty to help others with any technical difficulties.

Bidroom’s activities at ITB

The question might now arise – is that all? Of course not! Each department was busy, wandering around the show (with our calculations – making over 15 000 steps on average every day!), joining the panels, going to the meetings and making contacts.

Not only did we try to see as much of ITB’s attractions as possible, but we also wanted the visitors to enjoy the tastiest coffee in town before entering the Messe Berlin trade fare area. Near the entrance, there was a Bidroom-signed coffee bike that gave out free coffee for all of the ITB’s attendees. On the cup, you could get a promo code that allowed you to create and activate your account for free. Normally, the year-long subscription to the platform costs 29 euros. If you are one of the people that tried our coffee – we hope you enjoyed it!
